I think that I may be a bit hungry – because every time that I try to talk about anything . . . I totally forget what it is that I’m supposed to say – and just end up talking about food.
It’s the quarter-century mark for the Bumperpodcast!
And so – we do a little looking around – and a little look back . . . Or at least that is what we were planning on doing. But – since everyone had to go and plan for the party – it was just me . . . and that never really works out . . . Does it?!
Natty Bumpercar celebrates a milestone in this special 25th episode of the Bumperpodcast! Flying solo for this "epiversary" (episode + anniversary), Natty reflects on the show's journey while the rest of the cast is out planning a secret party. In typical Bumperpodcast fashion, the celebration takes an unexpected turn as Natty rambles about party planning, fancy restaurants, and the time the podcast supposedly threw a party at his house that resulted in… clean dishes and a scrubbed shower? The host contemplates throwing a shower-cleaning party and reaches the "quarter century mark" of episodes in his own unique way.
